Heller, President of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, who had suggested at a meeting In Baltimore between Zionist rabbis and their antl- Zlonlst colleagues that the Coun¬ cil should be abandoned In re¬ turn for the adoption ot a "neu¬ trality" clause by the C.

AMERICAN RED GROSS REPORTS MANY JEWISH DONORS TO BLOOD PLASMA COllECTIONS
NEW YORK (JPS)—Instead of being a "compromise", as it was hailed by the American Jew¬ ish Committee, the statement on Palestine adopted by that body at its recent annual meeting "represents a retrogression from previous positions", it was as¬ serted by the American Emer¬ gency Committee for Zionist Af¬ fairs, In the first official com¬ ment by the Zionists to emphas¬ ize that the docm-nent offers "no acceptable compromise on the essential demands of Zionism".
The Statement of the Emer¬ gency Committee served to stress the growing rift between Zionists and anti-Zionists, even though Joseph Proskauer, on be¬ ing elected president of the American Jewish Commiitee, a.s- serted that the Sommittee's view were an effort to bridge the dif¬ ferences between tho two groups. It was r\-ealccl by the Emergency Committee that for fifteen month.s negotiations had been carried on with the American Jewish Committee in an effort to arrive at a genuine compromi.se It is implied Ihat further discus¬ sions with the Commiitee would lead, nowhere. The statement Iiointed out "on .March 1, lllltl, the American Jewi.sh fommittoc Joined in a memorandum sul)-' mittcd to President Wil.son ask¬ ing that the Peace Conference recognize 'the aspirations and historic claims of the .Jewish people in regard to Palestine".
